America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 90: When the Picnic Appears with Doomsday Survival Supplies

There's nothing wrong with this woman, right?
Li Xiaoen couldn't help but complain. Seeing Sufeil with a cold face, concentrating on looking for something, he felt inexplicably strange in his heart.

Could it be that you are jealous?

Suddenly, this thought flashed through his mind, and Li Xiaoen shook his head, not thinking any further about the other party's suspicious targeting this time.

When encountering such a situation, it is better not to be self-indulgent unless there is solid evidence.

After a brief search, Victoria still couldn't find the treasure at this location, so she suggested taking a short break.

Coming to a shady place on the slope, Li Xiaoen looked at the large plaid cloth spread on the grass and couldn't help but be stunned.

In my childhood memories, such scenes in the English textbooks are still vivid. A family goes hiking on the weekend, spreads a cloth on the grass, and takes out various foods and drinks. It is really pleasant.

Now it appeared vividly before his eyes.

"Is this a picnic?"

Li Xiaoen asked and sat down beside the cloth.

"Well... that's right."

Victoria pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile. She turned around and took out some well-packaged fruit from her backpack. "We've been busy looking for treasure, and we haven't had lunch yet. This is a good time to use this mat during this break, otherwise it would be a waste."

"We've been searching for so long and still haven't found it. Could it be that the treasure has been taken away by another team that arrived earlier?"

Seraphina walked away, frowned, and sat down on the cushion without any other movement. She even forgot to take off her backpack and was obviously lost in thought again.

"I don't think anyone has searched the surrounding area. Let's look again after we have afternoon tea and rest. If that doesn't work, we can move on to the next location."

Victoria consoled her and helped Seraphina take off her backpack. "Our team currently has 16 points, so even if we finish now, the ranking shouldn't be too bad."

"That's what I said, but if I don't strive for first place, what's the point?"

Seraphina murmured, turning to look at Li Xiaoen, "Xiaoen, do you have any ideas?"

"My thoughts are the same as Victoria's." Li Xiaoen shrugged.

"Ok."

Seraphina sighed unwillingly, reached out and picked a grape from the fruit plate in the middle and put it in her mouth.

"Here here..."

After asking Sufir, who arrived last, to sit down, Victoria took out her mobile phone, turned on the video, and slowly scanned the surroundings, capturing everyone in the picture.

"Okay, now, each of you tell me what you brought for today's picnic?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiaoen was a little confused, and Mary on the side couldn't wait to raise her hand. After Victoria pointed the camera of her mobile phone at her, she took out her food from her schoolbag with great interest.

"I brought potato chips, chocolate, fruit gummies, German sausages..."

"German sausage?"

Seraphina suddenly exclaimed.

"Cut into slices!"

Before Mary could answer, Victoria interrupted her and glanced at Li Xiaoen inconspicuously, "Those jokes, just say them once is enough."

Seraphina didn't reply. She pursed her lips and swayed her body from side to side, looking as if she hadn't heard anything.

Victoria didn't care and turned the phone to Sufei.

"I brought pickles, tortilla chips, cheese, and croissants."

Sufei gave a brief introduction, saying that these were all common foods for picnics or hiking.

Ignoring Seraphina's expectant gaze, Victoria passed the phone over her and looked at Li Xiaoen, who was sitting on the carpet with his chin supported in a daze.

"Sean?"

"Oh……"

Li Xiaoen, who had been thinking about how to use the bet settlement reward, came to his senses and took out two things from his bag.

"Sandwiches and oranges." "Is that so little?" Several girls were stunned.

"I didn't know you were going to have a picnic, so I only brought enough food for one meal."

Li Xiaoen shrugged. This was the visible part of the backpack. The storage space also contained a week's worth of emergency dry food and drinking water, but he couldn't tell anyone about it.

The storage space is of little use to him in his daily life, but when facing various possible dangerous situations, this ability undoubtedly gives him more confidence. This sense of security and stable mentality cannot be bought with money.

"Well, that brings us to Seraphina."

Only then did Victoria turn the camera on Seraphina.

“Heh…”

Seraphina raised her head proudly and reached into her backpack. "I'm very well prepared for this hike. I have chocolate, walnut-flavored compressed cookies, almond-flavored compressed cookies, syrup..."

"..."

Looking at the hard, individually packaged bags and a large can of syrup placed in front of Seraphina, they looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

If we encounter the end of the world, I'm afraid few people can last as long as Seraphina.

Li Xiaoen complained in his heart, but he still found some clues, "Seraphina, you prepared the food, but where is the drinking water? Besides the bottle outside your backpack."

"That's a good question!"

After giving her an appreciative look, Seraphina slowly took out a small, long, transparent jar from her backpack. The black plastic covered the jar to hide the inside.

"This is the water filter bottle I prepared. As long as I can find a water source, it can filter out harmful substances. Then I will have plenty of water, more than enough!"

"What if we can't find water?" Mary asked.

"OK OK……"

Victoria quickly interrupted, looking helplessly at Seraphina, "Put away those apocalyptic survival supplies. No one will like your stuff now."

"Safety, this is a sense of security, okay?"

Faced with Victoria's ruthless words, Seraphina couldn't help but protest. She looked around and saw that others acquiesced. She couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoen with resentment.

"It's no use looking at me like that. No one really likes your stuff right now." Li Xiaoen shrugged.

Turning back helplessly, Seraphina reached out to the sandwich in front of Li Xiaoen, picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seraphina paused in her chewing and spoke vaguely, "This sandwich tastes different from the one in the school cafeteria."

"I do it by myself."

Li Xiaoen replied that the sandwiches at school had too much sauce and he couldn't get used to them, so he made them himself since he had some time.

"is it?"

Victoria looked at Li Xiaoen in surprise and reached out to take a piece, "Let me try it too."

Then the remaining two girls also stretched out their hands when they saw this. Seeing that there was only a sandwich left in front of them, Li Xiaoen was speechless.

In fact, there is nothing special about this sandwich. It is just lighter and has more vegetables in it, which makes it healthier than the one at school.

I suddenly thought of the American restaurants that specialize in vegetable "forage" salads and light meals. Compared with the big fish and meat in other restaurants, their prices are more expensive and more popular among the middle and upper classes in the United States.

In America, vegetables and fruits are more expensive than meat.

There was only one piece left, Li Xiaoen reached out, but unexpectedly it was snatched away by a hand from the other side.

"Ok?"

Noticing the gazes of others, Sufeil seemed to come to his senses and handed the half-eaten sandwich in his hand to Li Xiaoen.

"..."

This woman, did she do this on purpose?

Li Xiaoen narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't believe that Sufeil, who had just stepped on his foot aggressively, would behave like this towards him.
